    Starter FUBAR

    Voltage sources in series.....like batteries in a flashlight. Doesn't seem that complicated to me...and I don't have an advanced degree.

    CUCV community tool box

    I like the tool sharing idea. Seems like the specialty tools group in project categories like brakes, suspension, steering, etc. For example I just had to buy a 7/16 12 pt socket , 18mm tubing wrench, and pickle fork to do some steering work.

    What have you done to your CUCV today/lately - Part 2

    Changed insurance companies from State Farm to Geico. The former said " Hey, that is a Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle, so it has to be insured as a commercial truck. Pfffft.

    So, what's the one thing you'd change?

    I will be contrary and suggest fewer fora, not more. Where is that left-hand thread lugnut forum again ? Because there are 87 now, not counting the TMs. Thats why. But, since its all about me and what interests me the most, I would propose a forum for tan, 8 cylinder vehicles with 4 wheels.

    My M109a3 RV conversion

    For air con I used a vertical, roll-around unit from Lowe's. I removed the ventilator motor that is next to the rear door on the driver side, plumbed the hot air exhaust duct to there. Works great. Runs off a generator placed outside.

    My M109a3 RV conversion

    When I changed the oil for the first time in the 1966 M109A3, I put a 5 gallon pail under the drain plug then pulled the plug. Thats how I learned that the crankcase holds 6 gallons.....oooops.

    SF 97 & Arizona DMV

    I used the s/n from the data plate on the dash of my M35A3. Its not a 17 digit VIN but nobody cares. In AZ if it has 3 axles then its a commercial truck. DMV inspectors are getting wise: A camper body on a commercial truck is still a commercial truck.
